A possible workaround if you are concerned about how many images you are uploading etc. would be to add a field to the record to identify the collection and use javascript/css to replace the image and style as necessary. Sort of similar to Owen Leonard's post here: http://bywatersolutions.com/2013/08/07/custom-ebook-links-koha/ On Mon, Feb 9, 2015 at 11:07 PM, Giuseppe Angilella < Giuseppe.Angilella@ct.infn.it> wrote:
Hi,
as far as I understand, the image files of additional record covers are saved in binary format under the mysql fields biblioimages.imagefile and biblioimages.thumbnail, which are of type mediumblob.
I would now like to associate several (hundreds) records to the same cover image.
(These are books belonging to an old collection, for which no ISBN exists and therefore no image is available on amazon, all sharing the same sort of cover jacket.)
Should I enter the same cover image for each record separately, this would result in an unnecessary increase in the size of the biblioimages table, and therefore of the whole database.
I wonder whether some sort of "aliasing" would be possible, in this case.
A related question is also whether adding a cover image to a record could be performed routinely through an external script, rather than through the Koha staff browser, to expedite the procedure in the case of several records.
Many thanks in advance and best regards.
Giuseppe. _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
